VOTE.
Kurt - Looks good and is really creative but I'm just not a fan of the attire.
Don't like the sculpted on pads either. 4/5
HHH - Looks fit to be packaged up and sold at retail. Very nicely done, simple but effective.
Can't really flaw this piece, I saw a glimpse of purple in the trunks but I don't even think it's worth mentioning. 4.5/5

vote :abc customs
abc's hhh is great, it looks very well done. the logos are perfect. as said before it looks like somthing you could buy from the store, only thing i dont like is the head. maybe a 1rst scan hhh with the pony tail would have worked better.
warheart
the skin tone is good but im not a fan of the attire. the neepads looks ok.the attire looks sloppy.

VOTE: Warheart
ABCustoms:HHH was done well from the painted on logos instead of using paper decals. thats a plus for me.
thing i dont like and really kinda upset about is how customizers dont paint all the inside parts of the fig. such as yours for example i can still see the purple from CSDA fig. that what upsets me.
Warheart:i'm not a fan of solid statue figs......BUT it does stand out like a UMF. which is a plus.
now attire, seems to be a Warheart original which i luv about customizers, think outside the box which i always tell all u customizers out their.

Any HHH figure automatically loses for me. He is the anti-Christ of modern pro-wrestling.
Your painting is pretty good though, gotta admit.

Vote: ABCustoms
Gotta go with my man(and lady(friend)) Ben and Ash's work on that HHH. Can't even tell it's a custom. Looks like a really well painted factory release. Un-freaking-believable work. Only true touchup I can see is maybe a different paint on the IC title, something shiny.
Wars isn't bad, nothing taken away from it. But personally I like the flexability of the HHH more. The Angle's attire though was a GREAT choice and everything on it looks very well done.

I must admit i never thought it would come to this, you were both considered underdogs at the start, to guys like TheAxeHennig (jthomps3), and Great Gonzo, especially considering the stips you had were the hardest, and now, you have both come such a long way that i have to admit, based on what you guys entered in the contest, you deserve it.
ABCustoms: Ben and Ashley, always the professionals, you have performed brilliantly well here and once again Ashley's handiwork blows my mind! The only suggestion i would make is to paint inside the visible cavities such as the crotch area etc.
Warheart: Could you blow anyone elses mind into oblivion with your improvements? When i invited you to participate in this thing i honestly expected you to jobber out in the first round, but i admit, with the 3 customs you have entered, Warrior, Dinero, and now this Angle, you have produced a standard that any customiser would be proud of. My only worry is you appear to have sculpted something and then when painting not done enough coats of tone as you can see a hint of grey in the figure
Overall: I must give this one to ABCustoms, the only reason being is it looks like it's factory made with decals, though the look Warheart was shooting for wasn't like that, but that is my reason.

ABC Customs: This looks amazing and loooks like a factory product,
the logos are amazing and look fantastic and the belt tops it off.
Warheart: This figure looks Good and the molding is good since its not based off
a attire I cant really comment but the made up one looks good the only thing I dont like is the
molding on the elbow pads but overall the figure looks good.
OVERALL: Im gonna have to give this one to ABC Customs because of
the cleaness of the painting.

VOTE - WARHEART
While both customs are very good, I think Angle's attire is more detailed and requires more skill. The painting on Kurt's singlet is very good. The stars have good, sharp points and most are symetrical. The glitter paint is a nice touch, as well. While I would have preffered Jakks knee and elbow pads, the sculpting on the knee pads is very well done, and really is the only flaw I can see.
ABC Custom's painting of the HHH logo is very well done, but that is about all that is done to that figure. The belt is painted and the wording on the belt is done well, but I think a lot more work went in to Warheart's figure.
Again, both are well done, but I am voting for Warheart, by a slight margin.

I like the attire choice a rare HHH attire that we don't see posted often. A simple paint over but very nicely done you can't really tell if it's a custom or not.
warheart
I'm not a fan of the sculpting work just because it throws off a RA figure genarally speaking but the elbow and knee pads turned out good I like the detail in the back of them.
Although I'm a huge fan of the work and effort that was put into it and the attire well some people might say it's sloppy but in this case to me it's artistic and unike.
my vote the warheart

VOTE..
ABCustoms Triple H: I like the painting as it is really clean and looks to have taken some time to put in that much detail. As others have pointed out, there is still some original paint showing from the attire underneathe it which can easily be fixed. Overall it's a great custom as many have mentioned..
Warheart's Kurt Angle: This figure you can tell has has an overhaul of work done to it! It has a custom attire and is painted head to toe, which is nice to see. It's a little rough in some spots and the pads seem to throw it off a little bit, but it still has a nice quality about it and you can see that there was alot of time put into this custom..
Both figures are really great and I admire the work put into both. My vote goes to Warheart though..

Both customs look great...The attires are both painted very well.
ABCustoms- One of my favorite HHH attires. It is so damn clean. But the only thing I don't like is the lack of work done to it besides the attire... HHH was not that ripped back then. In fact I would go as far as saying he was the fattest he has ever been while in DX with the New Age outlaws and X Pac. So you could have modified the abs. Dremeled down the arms.. and fix the eyes because for some reason JAKKS decided to ruin a pretty damn good scan by making his eyes cross-eyed.
Warheart- Super clean. The only thing I dislike are the elbows. they just seem a little awkward to me. The custom attire looks like an attire Kurt would wear. It is very creative and shows a tremendous amount of detail. Usually when people do a "custom attire" they ALWAYS do an attire that is easier to paint than the actual attire that the wrestler they are making wears...but yours looks to be harder than Kurts old singlets. Very creative and from top to bottom this one has more work done to it and it was pulled off better.
Warheart gets my vote.

ABCustoms - Other than the slight purple you can see in the tiniest of cracks, it's perfect.
The Warheart - I really like the idea for the attire but the sculpted pads really throws it off for me.
My vote goes for ABCustoms.

If this was in a shop I would sware it was made by Jakks themselves! Absouloutely AMAZING work! I dot think that here is any room for improvement on this one! 5/5
However, the Kurt Angle doesn't really do it for me. I think the singlet is a bit sloppy but not too much. The only criticism I wouldgive would be to work on the paint job. But is definetly original and I really like it! I would give thisone 4.5/5 - the points diducted becauseof the paint job.
Amazing customs by both customizers but the winner for me is ABCustoms! Congrats!

Vote: Warheart
- Warheart's Custom Kurt Angle:
Original attire, painted very well. Does look like something Angle wore. I like the look of the sculpted pads, they actually look more realistic that way. Not to mention the head looks fantastic, even better than the actual RA heads.
- ABCustoms HHH:
Crisp, clean paintjob. Logos are perfect, added detail to the purple strap IC belt is great.
I give this to Warheart because of originality, and going the extra distance to do the sculpting. To me that really brings out a custom as a unique idea come to life, and the pads just add to the realistic look of the figure. Honestly, both of these are 2 of the best customs I have seen on this board. This was a tough one and good job to both participants!

Warheart: I was very impressed by the progress you've made as a customizer, and this piece is a prime example. The skintone is realistic, the facial detail painting is spot on and the attire is very much in the spirit of Angle. The elbow pads however are awful, they lack any definition or clean shaping, no wrinkling and there are clear fingerprints visible. Take those away and this is a much better overall piece.
ABCustoms: This figure looks like it came out of a CSDA package. It's damn near factory perfect, in fact considering the quality of Jakks these days, it looks better. But it's simplicity kills it as a custom. As Sandy mentioned earlier, this is a bad body choice for HHH at this time period, i would've liked to have seen you stretch the limits of your talents by attempting some modding and resculpting.
Winner: Warheart. While both were great pieces, Warheart's is more of a true custom, while ABC's is more of a really good fixup.

ABCcustoms- I like this custom but it is very plain. Just a head swap and or few part swaps with attire repaint unless I’m missing something. The logos are perfectly painted and look smooth to me. I also like the addition of the IC belt. Overall it’s really good just a tad bit plain to me…
Warheart- This one is very unique. I love the skin tone it’s painted very nicely and is a good tone for that Kurt. The attire is awesome. It’s painted smooth and the detail is right on. The only thing I see wrong is the elbow pads. It seems you removed articulation there, if you did there why not everywhere else? Not that huge of a deal but it didn’t make a lot of sense to me. Still overall I love the figure.
Winner: Warhearts Kurt Angle, based on the amount of work and creativity put into the custom…

ABC- Great HHH figure. Looks similar to something released. No major discrepancies. It's a nice, very simple repaint, using the pre-existing HHH design, and painting over it. I also am not a fan of high-gloss paint. Nothing taken away from it-- it looks great. My criticism is, use semi-gloss paint.
Warheart- Also, great figure. You went original with this figure. I like the extra mile you took with sculpting the pads, and repainting the skintone. I am NEVER a fan of repainted skintone, but yours looks great. Great choice in colors. My criticism is with all skintones. Use something with a little more sheen.
Winner- Warheart.
Both figures were phenomenal, but Warheart's involved more aspects of customizing. Great job, both.

ABC- Pretty cool figure i like the painting and think its a pretty clean and simple custom. Correct me if im wrong but it appears to me that u just painted over a csda triple h. Granted that isnt exactly easy but IMO you could have done alot more. i like the adition to the painted I.C title.
Warheart- Great singlet paint job it actually looks like somthin kurt would wear. i honestly cant express how much i like that singlet. However i dont really like the elbow pads and knee pads because of the fact i dont really like semi posed things. I do understand why it is semi posed though and i had a rough time with elbow pads and knee pads at first and that is kinda how i did my first set on my rikishi custom i can kinda see a finger print on one of the pads. you should have a little bit of water on your finger and smooth it out when your sculpting. The skintone is decent. I see u were going for the jakks look i dont know but it looks like u need a bit more of one color but i honestly cant tell u what color that is because i have only made the jakks skin tone once and i dont even remember what i mixed.
Overall: Great effort by both customizers i went back and forth on deciding this one and now i think i finally decided a winner and i pick Warheart
I think that these two customizers may have to do this match another time because i see this match being real close and i enjoyed both pieces of work
Sorry if i was a bit rough but thats how i learned from my mistakes and i hope u guys learn as well and become better
